Lyrics
System Breakdown Peter Stein (c)
In my opinion the whole f***n world
has gone crazy
too much food too much money
too much time
wreckin too many minds
people in Africa got nothin to eat
over in the land of freedom
40 mil people living out in the streets
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN SYS - TEM
Breakdown like a little child
with his fingers pressed
against the window pain
Needle in the gutter
tell it like it is
mum and dad both have to work
havent got time for the kids
So much concrete
a dog cant find a tree
on which to piss
Rich getting richer
while the poor pay all the tax
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN SYS - TEM
breakdown like a little girl in plats
doesnt know what to do
